Jothi Ramalingam The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday (April 21, 2026) sought action against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his “terrorist” remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, terming it a violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). In a complaint to the Election Commission, the BJP said such “rhetoric lowers the level of campaign discourse, inflamed passions, and undermined free and fair elections”. The party said that describing “the country’s tallest political leader and leader of the world’s largest party” as a “terrorist” for electoral purposes was a form of “extreme personal vilification” and a “gross violation” of the poll code.
